NICE and the nature-inspired solution (NIS) methodology could play a significant role in developing new therapies, including for future cancer immunotherapies. In this context, a few important launch events were organised over the past few months.

On 5 December 2022, an excellent workshop was organised in Paris by the , and joined by EFCE鈥檚 leadership, through the help of the (France), to launch a new EFCE section on聽 鈥淐hemical Engineering applied to Medicine鈥. Special thanks go to Professors David Bogle (香港六合彩) for taking a lead with (EFCE President), (Veolia) and Dr (Uni Toulouse) for the organisation. Prof Marc-Olivier Coppens was invited to present, and spoke about our NICE approach and applications in controlled delivery, combating anti-microbial resistance, and a systems engineering approach to cancer immunotherapy.

Another significant launch was that of the recently awarded, $25M project (led by Dr Martin Pule, 香港六合彩, and Prof Catherine Bollard, Children鈥檚 National Hospital), in which the CNIE joins cancer experts from the UK, USA and France to develop cancer immunotherapies that target paediatric solid tumours.

Following online events in October, and a CGC Future Leaders Conference on 2-4 November 2022 in Barcelona (where Dr Matthew Chin, 香港六合彩 CNIE presented), an intense in-person workshop was held at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) in London on 24 and 25 January 2023. Here, Marc-Olivier Coppens (香港六合彩 CNIE) was one of three spotlight speakers, joining Dr. Kevin Litchfield (香港六合彩) and (Stanford). The 6 work packages were introduced and discussed by key investigators on the grant, strategizing on their execution, and an important part revolved around advocacy, poignantly introduced by the patient advocates. This highlighted the immense challenge the team is putting its collective efforts towards, but also the hope presented by this interdisciplinary team. As Yoda famously said: 鈥淒o or do not. There is no try鈥.
